I beleive the rights to delayed fights will be cheaper than live. Would you rather have as an example; Williams vs Martinez live. No Lopez vs Marquez or Williams vs Martinez & Lopez Marquez shown on Sunday after 12pm. NOT LIVE. Personally I would rather see more fights than live. Its easy enough to avoid the result for a few hours.
I guess it's better having them live. I mean I usually download most fights the day after anyway so I can watch them whenever I want. For example, I watched all last weekends fights before 12pm on Sunday anyway.
I see what your getting at. Of course it's great to watch a fight live, I personally love staying up all night letting the anticipation build. But the more fights the better for me. So long as the delay isn't too long
More fights, less live for me. Outside of big British fights (Haye for example), boxing is hardly a sport where you'll have the result ruined for you unless you specifically seek it out.
It would probably be better for them to show them delayed. They're not going to increase their audience much if they're showing them live, it'll only be all of us watching them. Still if they're only showing them delayed, I wont be waiting.
Live. I'll be honest though, I've not signed up yet. For me, there hasn't been a fight worth signing up for.
Live, if it was delayed there's no point subscribing as I could download the HBO version in great quality the next morning.
I'd prefer fewer fights (at least Tricky's stated basic minimum of one "big" fight a month) live than a load more delayed. Silly as it is, I fail to get the same sense of event watching sport after the matter. As such, I would just watch clips online as I wouldn't really get into it. If it's live, though, I want it on my tele so I can really sit back and enjoy it. Therefore, I want Premier Sports to keep bringing me live fights!
